My "reviewer" trigger looks for the the string that's normally
only found in new change forms: "<enter description here>" so it
won't add the "reviewed by" line again to an existing change
form. It's written for bourne shell (standard for our triggers)
and uses the sed command, but otherwise it is very similar to
what you have:
sed -e "s/<enter description here>/&\n\n# Fill in reviewer's name\
below\nReviewer: <name>/" "$formFile" > "$TMPFILE"
(The & inserts the matched text, then follows it with a blank
line, a comment, and the Reviewer: field.

Subject: [p4] Modifying Changelist form
Hi All,
Objective is to insert "ReviewedBy" field text in every changelist form.
This is what I have done and seems to be working fine in my test setup.
Trigger Script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$formfile = $ARGV[0]; # from %formfile% in trigger table
$defaultin = "^Description:";
$defaultout = "Description:\n\tReviewedBy =>\n";
# Build a modified workspace spec based on contents of %formfile%
$modifiedform = "";
open FORM, $formfile or die "Trigger couldn't read form tempfile";
while ( <FORM> )
{ ## Do the substitution as appropriate.
if ( m:$defaultin: ) { $_ = "$defaultout"; }
$modifiedform .= $_;
}
# Write the modified spec back to the %formfile%,
open MODFORM, ">$formfile" or die "Couldn't write form tempfile";
print MODFORM $modifiedform;
exit 0;
[ Snippet of the script from perforce site ]
Triggers setup :
Triggers:
reviwer form-out change "/home/builduser/modify_change.pl
%formfile%"
Does this look alright or is there any better way to do it?
Thanks and Regards,
Kamlesh
